All cravings are the mind seeking salvation or fulfillment in external things and in the future as a substitute for the joy of Being.
Eckhart TolleMy main life interest and purpose is to bring spiritual awakening into this world, to be a vehicle for the flowering of consciousness, to help people to live more consciously with less unnecessary suffering and self-generated unhappiness.
Eckhart TolleAll you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.
Eckhart TolleSustained enthusiasm brings into existence a wave of creative energy, and all you have to do is 'ride the wave'.
Eckhart TolleDon't wait to be successful at some future point, have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.
Eckhart TolleI don't want it to end, and so, as every therapist knows, the ego does not want an end to its โproblemsโ because they are part of its identity. If no one will listen to my sad story, I can tell it to myself in my head, over and over, and feel sorry for myself, and so have an identity as someone who is being treated unfairly by life or other people, fate or God. It gives definition to my self-image, makes me into someone, and that is all that matters to the ego.
